  1. Appropriate Level of Perspective

    It's just a matter of having the appropriate level of perspective. If you're in Florida and thinking about Oregon, you need a map of the United States. But if you're on 42nd Street in Manhattan and...
  2. Staples

    You may still be able to find one in a Staples store. They carry the Coordinator refills and might still have some in stock.

    Works for Me

    I got mine about a week and a half ago and it works great. Syncs with Outlook from my computer so 'everything is everywhere.' Only downside is it won't do as many "other" things as an iPhone, but if...
  4. Current View: Active Projects

    Choose 'Active Projects' as the current view on the left-hand pane when you're viewing your Tasks. That should produce a summary listing of only your projects, and then you can print that out.

    Not More, But Which Ones

    I see it more as a question of which specific things you're doing, not how many. Maybe you are only going to get to 20 that week, but what if two or three of the ones that should have been done were...

    Not GTD Fast

    I ordered this from Nightingale Conant last week. It's not GTD Fast--the basic material that was GTD Fast is now available on the GTD Live CD set available from davidco.com.

    This is an...
  8. I Like Them Both

    I have both GTD Fast and GTD Live and regularly listen to both--they are very similar in content (virtually identical in many places), and each has sections where certain elements of GTD are...

    NextAction!

    I like my Storm too. And you can make the Task List be more than serviceable if you download NextAction! It sorts Outlook tasks nicely by context and/or by project.

    Similar to RoadMap But Longer

    The GTD Live CD set is an extended version of the same material that forms the basis of the current RoadMap seminar. Allowing for lunch and breaks the RoadMap is about 6.5 hours long, and the 10-CD...

    Workhorse

    I've been giving mine heavy use since I got it in early February and absolutely love it. Very durable, fits underneath the airplane seat in front of me when I'm traveling, the wheels and extended...

    If Cost Isn't a Factor

    I bought the Add-In instead of a dyi. Figured it would take me a couple of hours to get it by hand, and I still might not do it correctly. If your job or life require the ability to reconfigure...

    Killing the Messenger

    Agreed (as I always do with kewms' postings). Killing the GTD messenger doesn't change the message(s) it's giving you about your life. You're the one who is creating/allowing the tasks that appear on...

    It Takes a While

    You pretty much nailed it with the first part of what I left quoted above: weekly review is essential. And so too is the need to spend probably about an hour a day (give or take, depending on the...

    In or Out?

    I feel as though I need to follow up on what Darla noted. You said "I do NOT want to have a daily procedure that will direct me to a number of lists," but GTD is fundamentally a process of list...

    'Active Tasks by Project'

    When you click on Tasks in Outlook (with the Add-In) you should have a button that gives you "Active Tasks by Project", which gives you a list of projects with related actions for each. Very...

    Yes for Areas of Focus

    I too make extensive use of categorizing by areas of focus. Where anything represents a discrete project such as a research paper, upcoming conference presentation, or class (e.g. "Teaching: Spring...
